History & Origin

Jevaughn is one of many inventive names built in African-American and Caribbean communities from the late twentieth century, where prefixes like Je-, De- and Ja- were freely combined with familiar surnames such as Vaughn. Its meaning rests on that Vaughn piece, Welsh for 'small,' while the assembled whole is a fresh creation.

Jevaughn had a short life in the records, clustering around the 1990s before slipping away. A boy given the name then would be in his late twenties today, part of the millennial wave of creatively spelled names.

Did you know? The Vaughn tucked inside the name comes from the Welsh bychan, 'small,' which began as a nickname distinguishing a younger or smaller man from an older relative of the same name.
